Effect of Intravenous Ferric Carboxymaltose on Hemoglobin Response and Transfusion in Patients With Iron Deficiency Anemia After Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

May 21, 2021 updated by: Yonsei University
In this prospective open-label randomized tral, 100 patients with elective off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) or minimal invasive direct coronary bypass (MIDCAB) surgery were enrolled. Before surgery, if a patient had iron deficiency anemia, the patient was randomized to receive Ferinject®(Ferric carboxymaltose, n=50) or placebo (normal saline, n=50), respectively. A single dose should not exceed 1000mg of iron per day or 20mg per kg body weight. In addition, the administration of 1000mg of iron should not exceed once a week. Administration to patients with hemodialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease is once daily, and the maximum dose should not exceed 200 mg (4 ml) of iron. Patients weighing less than 35 kg should not exceed 500 mg total iron dose. It uses intravenous infusion and can be administered up to 1,000mg (20ml) as the maximum iron once. For intravenous infusion, this drug is diluted with 0.9% sterile physiological saline solution.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

  • Perioperative blood loss and iatrogenic hemodilution lead to postoperative anemia which correlates with infections, and poor physical function, mobility and recovery with subsequent increases in the length of hospital stay and mortality. Preoperative anemia management reduce intraoperative blood loss such as normothermia, antifibrinolytics and cell salvage are key strategies to ameliorate postoperative anemia.

  • Patient screening method Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) under median-sternotomy, or minimal invasive direct coronary bypass (MIDCAB) undertaken under median-sternotomy Among them, the selection/exclusion criteria are checked and the subjects of the study are screened. * Inclusion/ exclusion criteria **Inclusion:

    • Patients with Preoperative iron deficiency anemia Among Patients scheduled for cardiopulmonary coronary artery bypass graft under median sternotomy in cardiovascular surgery **Exclusion: - a) Patients who underwent iron correction treatment (oral, injection, blood transfusion) within 2 months prior to surgery b) Patients taking anticoagulants before surgery c) Patients taking and administering drugs that can cause bone marrow suppression, such as anticancer drugs, before surgery d) Patients with chronic liver disease and chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis e) Patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft for emergency surgery f) Patients with a history of hypersensitivity reactions and side effects to iron drugs g) Minor (under 20 years old) 3) Definition of iron deficiency anemia (if all criteria a to c in the following items are satisfied)

      1. Ferritin<300mcg/L
      2. Transferrin saturation<25%
      3. Hb<12.0g/dL for women or Hb<13.0g/dL for men * The primary goal of this study was the effect of intravenous administration of ferric carboxymaltose on postoperative hemoglobin levels in patients with preoperative iron deficiency anemia among patients requiring cardiopulmonary coronary artery bypass grafting due to coronary artery disease. It is to analyze the effect compared to the control.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
